Issues

The Wealth Gap
As the middle class in Canada continues to erode, we encourage you to view and to share widely the following 4 minute video because inequality in Canada is much worse than we think it is.  Do what you can ensure that this becomes an issue in the next federal election.  Please go to: https://www.broadbentinstitute.ca/wealthgap/

Since November, more than two dozen women have come forward with claims that Bill Cosby sexually assaulted them, with some saying he drugged them before the attack.  Because the Ontario venues cannot cancel the scheduled shows without legal penalty, these shows will go ahead and this includes the show scheduled January 8th at Budweiser Gardens.  Megan Walker, executive director of the London Abused Women's Centre, said she's not surprised people are trying to dump tickets to the show.

"We've had calls from people who said they can't give them away," she said.  "They're livid the show isn't being cancelled, so they're going to go to the show and heckle and exercise their right to free speech."  We urge ticket holders to rethink attending this performance because as K.Kerfoot once said, "What we permit, we promote."  A protest is planned for 6 p.m. outside Budweiser Gardens the night of the show.
